Hip Injuries
Living with a hip injury can be difficult because it can be hard to escape the pain. Your hips are an integral part of your body’s foundation, so when joint health declines or you suffer a hip injury, your quality of life decreases significantly. Losing your mobility can have a negative impact on both your physical and mental health, as well as financially damaging due to lost work. The pain can be extremely discouraging and cause you to sit out on events or activities that you normally would love!
In this 2016 study by the National Institute of Health, they estimate that the number of total hip replacements per year will reach 500,000 by 2030. The professionals at Stem Cellutions want to help our patients avoid unnecessary surgery if possible. Depending on the severity and how far progressed your condition is, regenerative therapy could be the answer to your hip problems. Platelet-rich plasma and stem cell injection therapy are non-invasive forms of regenerative medicine that have shown incredible potential when it comes to stopping and reversing the damage cells in and around the hip joint.
Causes of Hip Injury
Hip injuries can occur in many different ways, as a result of a traumatic impact or due to gradual wear and tear over time. Here is a list of the more common hip injuries:
- Falling on your hip and breaking a bone
- Pelvic fracture
- Dislocated hip
- Bursitis is when the sacs of fluid that normally lubricate the joint become inflamed.
- A labral tear, also called a labrum tear, is a tear in the cartilage surrounding the joint.
- Arthritis
- Tendinopathy: tendon becomes inflamed from strain and overuse
- Osteonecrosis: reduced circulation to your hip bone, leading to arthritis and cellular degeneration.

Treating a Hip Injury
You should always consult with a professional as soon as you begin to recognize pain and symptoms. The sooner you act, the easier therapy will be as you can prevent further damage. When it comes to treating a hip injury, there is a range of options. Some doctors will recommend surgery, but it is expensive, requires serious recovery periods, and can be risky considering that the operation can have damaging complications.
Instead, we encourage our patients to seek out regenerative medicine therapies like stem cell injections and platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP). These regenerative methods use materials taken from your own body and inject them into the injury site.
Stem cells can be extracted from adipose (fat) or bone marrow and are packed with unprogrammed cells that, once introduced to an injury site, stimulate the process of cellular regeneration.
PRP uses an extract from your blood that has been separated and condensed into a concentrated dose of plasma. Packed with the building blocks for cellular growth, it provides an injury site with everything it needs to replace damaged tissue.
